I almost wish Sid Meier hadn’t created the Civilization games. That way, the fourth installment — a paragon of the real-time-strategy format, pitting you against foes from throughout history — wouldn’t have claimed whole months of my life. Instead of perfecting my path to a cultural victory under the flag of France, or bringing the Japanese to Alpha Centauri, I could have been, you know, productive or social. But hey, no regrets: it’s damned fun getting Gandhi so pissed off that he rains a fiery vengeance upon your province. _Ryan Stewart
